Granola Cookies Recipe
These cookies were created on a super cold morning when jack frost had visited and the air was crisp. There was a little robin singing from a branch of the bare cherry tree and two little bears were absolutely certain that we were going outside. I knew that once we came back into the warmth after our adventures in the frozen world we would want blankets, cocoa and a comforting snack. These cookies hit the spot as a great snack because they are quick and easy to make, vegan and gluten-free, reasonably healthy for a cookie, and taste like an absolute treat. Added bonus; even the littlest of hands can get involved in making these.
Makes 16 cookies.
Ingredients
- 6oz/150g oats
- 4oz/100g oat flour
- 4oz/100g granulated sugar
- 1tsp baking powder
- 1tsp ground cinnamon
- 4oz/100g vegan butter – melted
- 1tsp golden syrup
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160C and line a baking sheet with paper or lightly grease with oil.
- Put the oats, oat flour, sugar, cinnamon and baking powder into a bowl and give them a quick mix. (Note: you don’t need to buy the flour for this, you can simply blitz oats in a blender to “create” oat flour)
- Add the butter to a small pan on a low heat, and once melted stir in the teaspoon of golden syrup.
- Add your wet mix to your dry mix and stir until incorporated, it can feel a little sticky but that just makes it extra fun for children to lick their fingers.
- Take walnut sized pieces of the mixture, roll into balls and pop onto the baking tray leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Once all the mixture is on the tray pop it into the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes until the cookies are golden.
I really hope you give this simple snack a try, it’s a sweet, chewy, comfort food sensation. If you do make them then please do let us know what you think in the comments and tell us what fruit you chose!
Happy baking,
